Life is hard enough. Don't go through life with pain that’s keeping you clutching the steering wheel. Join me as I learn to deal with Adrenal Fatigue-Hashimoto’s- Hypothyroidism-OA- Osteonecrosis – Spondylolisthesis and how going to a mostly to a plant-based lifestyle and meditation helps my pain.

Pain is a daily burden that many of us carry around when you have a chronic illness

Often the weather plays a big factor on how my body feels , some say its a myth

But
Yes, the weather forecast can make you ache.
It’s not your imagination;

Living in NE Ohio I have always loved the seasons, but since being diagnosed with Osteonecrosis in 2014 I really dread winter. In fact , any sudden changes in the weather really affect my pain and level of pain

Sudden changes in temperature or barometric pressure, which is a measure that refers to the weight of the surrounding air, can trigger joint pain.

When the weather heats up, or a “high-pressure system” moves in, the increase in barometric pressure usually brings relief for me. So My husband and I are planning on moving to a warmer climate

Researchers at Tufts University in Boston reported that every 10-degree drop in temperature corresponded with an incremental increase in arthritis pain. Increasing barometric pressure was also a pain trigger in the Tufts study.

In fact, there were even studies in cadavers have found that barometric pressure affects pressure inside the joints. In one experiment, when pressure , in the hip joints was equated with atmospheric pressure, it threw the ball of the hip joint about one-third of an inch off track.

I have Osteonecrosis in my knee caused by trauma as well as Spondylolisthesis in L5 S1 I also have Factor V Leiden a blood clot disorder and as the weather changes I often feel like a board, very stiff , more pain and less flexibility to an already limited body can really stop you in your tracks.

I am hoping now that I eat healthier , more raw foods maybe this winter will be a little less pain.

The Greek philosopher Hippocrates in 400 B.C was one of the first to note that changes in the weather can affect pain levels. Although a large body of folklore has reinforced the belief that there is a link between weather and pain, the science behind it is mixed.
